random sections
December 9, 2005 12:00 AM
Here is a work-around. Problem I see with Lectora 5.0 is that it does NOT seem to give separate scores for the sections. While the User Guide alludes to using sections like you can test on various areas, I can only find one score for the test. In your case, that could be a problem because if the learner only has to do 1 section and that is say 25% of the questions, then even if they got them all right, their score would be 25% = failing. You might want to have 4 separate tests instead 4 sections in one test.This is a little awkward but it works. You create a randomizer. It is a test with two sections. The first randomly picks the real test you want to run and second section actually goes there.1. Set up a test that comes before the real test with two sections. 2. Delete all the page variable stuff and any buttons. 3. Delete any non-blank pages. 4. On the first section Properties - Content tab, select Randomize the page selection with a value of 1.5. In the first section add one blank page with one action:On: ShowAction: Modify VariableTarget: X (a variable named X)Value: 1 Modification Type: Set Variable ContentsThen copy and paste this page into this first section until you have one for every real test. Just click on the action button on each page and change the value to 2 on the second page, 3 on the third page, etc.6. Add one action to the section:On: ShowAction: Go ToTarget: Next PageSet the Delay Before Action to .5 sec. This will insure that the variable X gets set before Lectora goes to the next page. 7. Add one blank page to your second section. Add conditional actions to the page (one for each real test) as follows:On: ShowAction: Go ToTarget: Real Test 1Condition: X = 1On: ShowAction: Go ToTarget: Real Test 2Condition: X = 2etc.Follow this with your real tests.cheers,ben
